Novice teachers experience various challenges in a new school. They strive to develop their teaching in new environments. Many factors are in play when it comes to the professional socialization of novice teachers. Socializing factors such as support from school administrators and senior teachers will impact a novice teacher’s professional development in a school’s community. Guided by three phases of Feldman (1981) socialization theory, this study examined the context of novice teacher socialization processes in school. Therefore, this concept paper will explain the underlying theory of socialization and unveil which issues and challenges they experience as they successfully integrate into the workplace.
